Also on display this evening will be Art & Activism in the Bitterroot room. This display is a special exhibit by students from the UM's Davidson Honors College where students channeled their energy, whether caused by concern, frustration or excitement, over issues they see in the world around them into art making - dance, visual art or theater. The aim is to use that art to raise awareness, educate, move a viewer emotionally or intellectually and ultimately create change.
Featuring live music by Madeleine Tucker and festive treats, this will be the perfect way to start off your Holidays with a bang!
Reception will be First Friday, December 6th, 5-8pm at the Confluence Center at 119 W Main St, Missoula, MT. Solstice will remain on display through January 31st and can be seen by appointment through the center: 406-926-6526
